This is all the PPA has ever asked of me, never donations, etc..
Just to get off my lazy butt and do something! Which I have, but I feel I could definitely do more. I share what I can, and hope that others will do the same, and realize that with the organization of the mass of grassroots movements, aka the little guys, there is nothing we can't do.

So get to it, and spend your energy doing something positive for what you want, instead of complaining about it, which is just a waste of energy and time.

Happy Valentine's Day! K

Will this affect my play chip bankroll?

John, I truly appreciate your service to this cause and am behind the PPA 100%. I have participated in many DAP's but I admit I have not called my state's senators or representatives this year yet to express my thoughts, although I have in the past and am now planning on doing so Monday after this helpful reminder.

I must admit however that some of these naysayers may have an incontrovertible point. There are serious academic works on the investment theory of politics widely cited by respected voices such as Noam Chomsky and Robert Reich among many others.

At some point pessimism blurs into hardened experience and these hardened souls would like to know what they can actually do without sounding defeatist.

Get rich or die tryin?

Not that your criticism is invalid, but I just wanted to point out that it doesn't matter if all three people on that committee are republican, democrat or independent. They are simply bought and paid for by the person who is funding this operation, Sheldon.

I agree with you though, that we shouldn't turn this into a partisan debate. It's not like one side champions online poker and the other is hellbent on banning it.

Again, if it is already illegal in PA, can someone point me to the law that made it so?

Regarding Jindal, he talks about children currently evading measures in place to prevent them from gambling. What measures and does he think that the best measures are currently in place?

Thinking that gambling should be banned because of the measures currently in place is like someone saying cars should be banned because current average fuel economy is x number miles to gallon.

People are smart enough to realize that technology will advance.

land of the free. except for most things, which are regulated.

why do governments feel the need to control every little thing people do, it's pathetic.

In this case, we need protection from the Russ Hamiltons of the world.

I'm taking notes and plan on calling Mario Scavello next week.

Some particularly relevant quotes from the 2010 Annenberg study they reference:

and

Can anyone point to studies implying that problem gamblers could potentially receive MORE help if they're online? Or perhaps a study or reasoned argument stating money laundering is not a problem in a regulated environment?

The most disconcerting part of all of this is the fact that they think that young adults have a big problem but rather than a first offense dictating classes or other forms of rehabilitation, they want to potentially throw them in jail.

X-post from PL forum.

Because children might be able to get on these sites and build up staggering credit card debt and lose their houses.

you are entitled to your inaccurate opinion.. There is proof posted by someone of feedback from a politician about his change in stance based people contacting him, either in this thread, or in similarly titled thread, on this forum
